I just wanted to let you know that things are going a LOT better.
I told you before that my husband woke me up all the time to tell me I was "leaking".
Well, now he wakes me up to tell me to get my mask on if I happen to fall asleep without it.


It makes me so happy !!
I really do not feel that much different though.
I have used it faithfully for 2 months now. I sure
hope it starts making me feel better SOON!
Sweet dreams,
Kris :-)

Hi Kristy

It can take a while to feel the benefits, in my case it was around 6 or 7 weeks before I realised I had been experiencing a gradual improvement. Look for the little signs, you may be surprised. In fact, my family noticed first cos they said I wasn't so grouchy

If you really are getting no benefit, it's worth checking back with the doc. Even though you've got over mask leakage, there are other things that might need to be tweaked. Are you on a fixed CPAP or an auto or bipap? It could be the pressure settings aren't quite right for you.

Either way, well done for getting so far and do keep at it. It will be worth it.

Good luck
